“The Lord Himself will send you curses, confusion and frustration in everything you do, until at last you are completely destroyed for doing evil and abandoning Me.” (Deuteronomy 28:20, NLT)
“Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you. For God called you do do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in His steps.” (1 Peter 2:20-21, NLT)
